We had a new deck built. Waited to stain it. Now the squirrels are gnawing the deck!! It is awful and very frustrating. I sand, repaint/stain and they come back and chew again!! We applied two coats of a dark stain (teak). Now I don't know what to do. Have tried repellant, spray and traps and they keep coming!! This is from August when we were staining it. It took about a month to do as had to wait two days after rain and two days before rain to let it dry. All our hard work and money --- so wasted. Have not put the table back on the deck until can solve the squirrel problem. In researching, found out it is illegal to poison squirrels and difficult to do so. We have a pet, so would be leary of poisioning anyway, plus neighbors have pets.
